My First GPS...

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 04:34:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - UPDATE: Caution! Do not make the mistake I did. I bought the Garmin USB charger and when charging the unit engaged the lock key. This kept the display turned on and I let it charge for 8 hours or so...with the display still on by the time I came back to...

Game of the Decade?

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:58:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - Grand Theft Auto IV is in a word....wow. I have been playing the GTA series since the very first one. Yep, the PC version with all its two-dimensional glory was quite fun to play over a homegrown TCP/IP network and the 2.5D GTA 2 upped the anti with...

Audio and Visual Quirks Spoil an Otherwise Awesome Game

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:53:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I've heard about the Guitar Hero franchise since it was released. The first time I played a guitar simulation was Konami's Guitar Freaks and it was definitely addicting even back then. The game was only available at the arcade at the time, so I couldn't...

I Was Not Impressed

Sun, 13 May 2007 03:29:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I am a fan of Canon's point and shoots. I've used a S2 IS and Power Shot A85 with much success. I like how those cameras render color and appear sharp. The SD550 was a different story. My parents purchased this camera for Christmas last year. Just...

The D50 Rocks...For the Most Part

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 07:21:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I have been the proud owner of a Nikon D50 for the past few months now. I finally made the digital plunge because I've heard such great things about this camera and because it finally fell under $600 (I already have a few Nikon F-mount lenses and wanted...

Good audio quality in a light package

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 07:14:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I had been using an Optimus Micro-37 portable tape recorder for over 5 years and needed an upgrade. There wasn't anything wrong with it, besides a broken microphone jack. Although there are plenty of digital recorders on the market now, I still feel...

Definitely a Camera for Indy Movie-Makers

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 19:14:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I was excited to get my hands on the HD100. I have used several prosumer-level JVC cameras in the past (X2, DV500, DV5000) and I wanted to see what JVC could do with the new HDV format. I can honestly say that they have done quite well. Let me first...

Excellent Entry-Level Digicam

Sat, 11 Mar 2006 15:06:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I have the privilege of using many cameras in my line of work. From entry-level cameras such as this one to digital SLR cameras and "news cameras" ($15,000+). I'll tell you from the outset that for the money this camera is smokin'! The Sony DSC-S40...

Stunning Image Quality

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 21:42:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - The JVC GY-DV5000 is the follow up to the highly regarded GY-DV500. I have used both cameras and can tell you that this new camera is a major upgrade over its predecessor. And that's an understatement. First of all (and most importantly) the DV5000's...

Best "Prosumer" 35mm Camera Available

Sat, 24 Apr 2004 16:28:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - Other reviews have focused on the features of this camera. I will tell you my story about the Nikon N80, to maybe convince you why you should buy this camera. I guess you could say I've "grown up" on this camera. When I first got into the world of...

Best I've Used

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 15:22:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - Before receiving the JVC HR-S9800U S-VHS VCR in the mail today I used older models and consumer-level VCRs. Nothing compares to this VCR.

First, take a look at it! Champagne colored and futuristic-looking. It's a good conversation piece and it...

MET-Rx: Best Tasting Drink Mix

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 15:00:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - I have tried Slim Fast, Opti-Pro Meal, and Fuel Plex. All are great for nutrition but they are either too high in calories or don't taste good at all. Then I found MET-Rx.

I thought Slim Fast to be the greatest tasting drink until I tried...

Slimfast Works, What More Can I Say?

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 01:19:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rarshowhost - For all you guys out there, this is a review for you. From one guy to another, I can tell you this stuff works. I've heard from some ladies that it taste like chalk and what not. Through my tastes this is false.

My favorite flavors are Rich...
